Just installed new wheels/tires on the Z. They are 8.5"(+35) 245/45/18 Front and 9.5"(+45) 275/45/18. Tein S Tech springs with drop of 0.6"(f) and 0.7"(r).

Anyone know if aligment will be an issue?

 

Anytime you drop your car you should always get an alignment.

 

I did s-techs like 3 weeks ago and needed an alignment. I would say you should get one.

 

nice offsets...

 

 

Post some pics...

 

Holy sunken wheels

 

Offsets were not exactly what I wanted but I liked the look of the wheels. I may have to resort to a spacer to get the stance I want at some point since the severe (+) offset set the wheels at only 10mm wider toward the fender than stock.

I guess I should have mentioned that the S techs were on the car when I bought it a year ago. Stock tires were worn perfectly when I pulled them off last night so an initial alignment was most likely done. Pretty sure I answered the alignment issue on the way to work this morning as my steering wheel has a ~1/4" stutter at 70-80mph that it did not have before.

I will try to post some pics as soon as I can.

 

I would always get an Alignment after purchasing new tires & rims.

Why spend all that money and ruin them over a $ 70.00 Ailgnment.

 

True that. Thanks for the responses.

 

I installed s-techs with my volks and i needed an alignment. I would rather spend the $80 for an alignment and save my $850 set of tires.
